Under the Worlds Heel.

How pathetic are the instances of men who are not only in misfortune, and who have lost all they once held, but whose very names are forgotten. 1 remember there was Q conductor on the Eighth Ave nue railroad, who ran his car between the hours of II in the night and Ii the fol- lowing morning. He was subject of so much talk among the night editors of the morning papers who rode upon his line that 1 once went over at the request of one of them one night just 10 see him. He was as fine and aristocratic looking man as I have ever seen. No one ever found out his history, for he could not be drawn into conversation. He did his work in quiet and respectful way for year, and then disappeared, nobody knows where. In like manner I have seen prters in big dry goods houses, clerks and men in almost every lowly walk of life whose faces indicated a history that was unmistakably pathetic
 The waifs of the street, the children of the gutters, the unhappy little ones in boarding houses and the outcasts of the slums are more to be envied than the gentle, courteous and dependent old men who have been forced under by the iron heel of a world that thunders along at a breakneck pace, and from which they try to shield themselves by a gentleness that the rushing world has not time to see.- Blakely Hall in The Argonaut.

A New Cure for Consumption.

Considerable sensation has been created in medical circles in Vienna by the dis covery of supposed cure for consump- tion and other tubercular affections of the lungs or other parts of the body. The discoverer is Dr. Kolischer, a young opera tor in the clinical department of Professor Albert. Dr. Kolischer, starting on the assumption that tuberculosis occasionally heals naturally, owing to the tubercles becoming calcined, hit upon the idea of causing artificial calcination by means Of hypodermic injections of a compound de- scribed as ''calcium phosphoricum" into the limbs of persons affected with local tuberculosis. He made a number of ex- periments with view of testing his dis covery, and in every case the experiments turned out successful. At the last meet ing of the Vienna Society of Physicians Dr. Kolischer read a paper on the result of his experiments, and introduced to the meeting several persons who had been cured by his method. He is about to carry his experiments further by making similar experiments upon persons suffer- ing from tuberculosis of the lungs.-Lon- don Chronicle.

him off. At last, tired of humanity which aroused no gratitude, the train hands assembled by invitation to see that hog demolished. He was on the track awaiting his doom, and extra speed was drawn from fat pine hurled into the fur mace with malice prepense. The hog raised his head in surprise when no stop was made, and seeing his danger, started at gallop down the track. In vain the engine rushed forward with maddening speed, till coaches rocked and ladies screamed in terror. When the train reached Palatka the hog was eating waste corn at Vertees' stable
 On another occasion the writer of this was sleeping in camp, and around lay pack of hounds who had often proved that a bear at bay brought no ter TOT to their hearts, and who carried scars honorably earned in strife with the wildcat and panther. But number of these ra- zor backs came around in the dead of night, and when the dogs attempted to drive them off, they charged like warriors true and tried They swept off the dogs and charged over the hunters. Blankets, guns, cooking utensils, and fishing rods became things of the past, and stout men took refuge in the boats. Then, to save the dogs, revolvers entered into the fray and finally the fierce grunters moved off in search of pastures new. With the early dawn came long, lean man who carried rife as long as himself, and he as- sessed the damages which the hogs should have paid and carried off tho slain, which the victors did not want.-Palatka News

The Handwriting of Poets.

''The old idea that nearly all great lit erary geniuses, especially poets, wrote poor hands has been exploded thor oughly," said an expert penman to re- porter. He meditated few minutes and proceeded in the same strain: gro illus trate, Edgar Allan Poe wrote fine hand. It was rather small but legible as print. He never scrawled, however fast he wrote. His life was checkered enough to upset his nerves, but through it all he wrote a fair, smooth, round hand. Rich ard Henry Stoddsrd, the white haired poet, perhaps wrote the most beautiful hand of any of the American poets up to several years ago. It was somewhat like the Spencerian system of today. The let ters were well formed and even, and properly shaded. Even now, we'll ad- vanced in years, he writes & fine copy hand as easy to read as print. Some of his best poems are written in a hand of such neatness and legibility as would put the typewriter to the blush. MT. Stod- dard handles a pen with wonderful celer ity yet. William Cullen Bryant also wrote good hand. It was not as beau tiful even as MT. Stoddard's, but as fair and legible as the most hypercritical could desire. Mir. Bryant's handwriting has been much discussed. He wrote bet ter hand than Poe, though the latter was better at certain times than others. John G. Whittier is master of @ fine, plain hand that the printers bless. It is as simple, small and unassuming as he is, and can be read easily. John Howard Payne, author of ''Home, Sweet Home," could well have passed for an Instructor in pen manship, his handwriting was so admira- ble. It was somewhat too small, if any thing, but all the letters were formed with startling accuracy. ."-New York Mail and Express.

Hints to Swimmers.

The eXrcrt swimmer acquires the knack of eXpclling a little air the instant he finds himself going under. This drives out any water that may have been inhaled if he has been taken by surprise by. Q wave or by any other sudden immersion, and he cnn usually hold his breath long enough to reach the surface. If not-if he is kept under water too long for his non-brcathing powers-he involuMarily tries to breathe, and drowns, as do the por- poise and his confreres under like condi- tiOns.
 The cruel and dangerous practice among boys of ducking one another vio- lently and at unexpected moments, much as it is to be reprehended, has probably saved more lives than it has sacrificed, for it teaches it's victims to catch the breath almost as instinctively as does Q seal
 The same end may be attained, how ever, by less brutal methods, if tho learner will begin by ducking himself in shallow water, and as the submerged con- dition becomes familiar, advance to div ing, swimming under water, and the like, until, within the bounds of reason, it is a matter of indifference whether the head IS under water or not.-New York Con- mercial Advertiser.

Killing Rats by Strategy.

'"To attempt to catch rats by traps or by poisoning them suddenly will fail" said an old rat catcher recently to a re- porter. "Old rats know too much and can be caught only by kindness. To de- stroy them give them good meal every day. Do not put any poison in the food, but simply prepare dish for them daily, as free lunch, composed of corn meal moistened with milk, into which one egg with salt to season has been beaten. At first they may not touch it, but keep it before them, making it fresh every day. They will soon try little, and if not in- furious their suspicious will be allayed. In week or ten days they will expect it and every rat on the place will be at the appointed spot for the treat Give plenty of it so as to induce all the rats in the neighborhood to join in. Do not be in @ hurry to poison them. If they eat all the food give them larger portion next time. As soon as they have thrown off all sus- picion get some phosphorus paste or other rat poison, mix it with the food and be sure to give them enough and something to spare, so as to induce all to eat. They will either be killed or become so suspi- cious of all food that not rat will remain.'' '' New York Mail and Express.
